    Grecia y Turquía han estado enfrentados respecto a la cuestión del Egeo durante varias décadas. Los esfuerzos anteriores entre los dos países para llegar a un acuerdo de límites marítimos permanentes no produjeron ninguna solución sustancial. En este contexto, un acuerdo de desarrollo conjunto entre los dos vecinos podría ofrecer varias ventajas y favorecería las buenas relaciones de vecindad entre las dos costas del Mar Egeo.

    Greece and Türkiye have been at odds regarding the Aegean question for several decades. Past efforts between the two countries to reach a permanent maritime boundary settlement did not yield any substantial solution. In this context, a joint development arrangement between the two neighbours might offer several advantages and would serve good neighbourly relations between the two coasts of the Aegean Sea.

    La Grèce et la Turquie sont en désaccord sur la question de la mer Égée depuis plusieurs décennies. Les efforts antérieurs entre les deux pays pour parvenir à un accord permanent sur les frontières maritimes n'ont abouti à aucune solution de fond. Dans ce contexte, un accord de développement conjoint entre les deux voisins pourrait offrir plusieurs avantages et favoriserait des relations de bon voisinage entre les deux côtes de la mer Egée.
